Summary/Abstract: The stylistic aspects that are found in Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Ion Creangă’s Childhood Memories are related to the way in which the common language is used in their works. The individual particularity of their style is to be seen in the numerous elements which form the oral character that is marked by the artistic usage of both Romanian and English language. The pleasure of telling stories, of using words that are characteristic to the popular language is specific to both Mark Twain and Ion Creangă.
